Quick answer
All Judah then brought the tithes of grain, wine, and oil into the storehouses. It matters because renewed leadership and obedience restored the people's faithful giving to God.
Overview
Following Nehemiah's reform, the people resumed bringing their tithes to the temple treasuries. The widespread response shows that reform can rekindle obedience throughout a community. Generous provision for God's work flows from hearts rightly ordered toward Him, a grace fully expressed in the cheerful giving of Christ's people.
